You’ll need to be buzzed in to this vast, minimal store, which inhabits the historic Chicago Avenue Post Office. Owners Marilyn Blaszka and Dominic Marcheschi began showcasing their pricey, edgy womenswear here in 1984, and still stand out in Chicago for their cream-of-the-crop designer picks and exclusive finds. In addition to an avant-garde selection of clothing by Dries van Noten, Marni, Mr. Self Portrait et. al, expect to find bags, shoes, belts and other accessories from top European designers.
